Southco launches new rotary locks with electronic control and door sensors.
Southco, a leading manufacturer of locks, hinges, and other accessories, has expanded its range of rotary locks with new versions that can be electronically activated and provide a signal when the door is closed.
Southco's new R4-25 rotary lock.
Southco's new R4-25 rotary lock is a response to customers' demand for electronic control and monitoring in demanding applications. The lock can be activated with a 12-volt signal from either the application's own control system or by purchasing a Southco controller. R4-25 pairs well with Southco's BluetoothTM controller for wireless operation. Southco's proven rotary lock design has been tested to an average ultimate load of over 9000 N. R4-25 can meet most application load and environmental requirements.
Design and features
R4-25 rotary locks have options for both side mounting and top mounting. The symmetrical design can be used in both right and left-hand orientations. The integrated cable mounting bracket facilitates installation. These design features are particularly useful when used with mechanical activation. Another feature of the R4-25 rotary lock is an integrated sensor that indicates when the door/hatch is closed and locked or if it is open. R4-25 electric rotary locks work excellently with Southco's KEYPANION Control System.
Comments from Southco's Product Manager
Southco's product manager Cindy Bart says, "These new R4-25 products expand our range of mechanical and electronically activated rotary locks. We are building on our experience in both areas to bring electronic activation capability to new markets."
